My Derren Brown Miracles

I came home from the joy of the HeartIQ Retreat Centre (Hemrik, Friesland) on Friday evening and after a day catching up with laundry and shopping, it was a treat to head out for an evening of entertainment at New Victoria Theatre, Woking on Saturday.  I put on my posh frock and everything!

I had a ticket for Derren Brown's show, 'Miracle'.  In a way this show was a bit of a 'stretch' for me, out of my comfort zone. Don't laugh, but there's a part of me finds magicians a bit scary.  What's more I was sitting in a vulnerable position alone at the end of a row quite close to the stage. In fact some of the action took place right beside me, and that was exhilarating.

Now I'm not planning to tell you about the show  except to say it was extraordinary.  I'm so glad I went.  Furthermore I feel I owe Derren Brown my grateful thanks for a couple of miracles I've enjoyed since the show: the next day I booked a session of table tennis at the local gym, and when I tried to pay for it, was told there was nothing to pay.  Then a friend rang up and invited me to go back to New Victoria Theatre on Monday night to see ThrillerLive - I'd wanted to go but didn't fancy going on my own, and she had a spare ticket as her mum was indisposed.  How lucky am I!  I'm reminded of a quote from 'A Course in Miracles':  there is no order of difficulty in miracles.

Thank you, Mr Brown, sir, for healing my fear of magicians.
